COURSE-Sane as in No. 1.
The sailor laddies of the men-of-war
had this race all to themselves, and as
but little was known on shore of the rel
ative merits of the boats, the race was
looked upon more as a pretty picture
than an exciting event. The pinnace of
the Conquest crossed the line, first out,
at about = o'clock, followed in close
order by the launchs of the Vandalia,
Juniata and Mohican and the Conquest's
gig, the latter boat sailed by Captain
Oxley himself. The return was made ::
Conquest's gig first in 81 .; Mohican's
launch, SO IS; Conquest's pinnace,

The Juniata's launch did not report

The second part of the programme
was quickly commenced, the yachts being
called into line and started at 90 minutes
past O'Clock. The Gertie, Pokii,
Pauline and Nellie did not appear, but
the other five were present to take part
in the contest. The heavy sea prevailing
outside caused the judges to change the
4 a. IL
limit outside. The yachts got away we'll,
the Ella first, Reform second, Bella
third and Carrie Robinson last The
Ella had the best of the first two reaches
to windward in the harbor but bad man
agement gave her second place, the
Reform ably handled by Mr. Dover
gaining points on every tack On the
leading run the Reform again outfooted
the Ella, and the Bella began to draw
away from the Carrie Robinson. The
Reform rounded the Bell buoy nearly a
minute ahead of the Ella, the Bella
third and the Carrie in bad position to
leeward. Squaring away for home the
Ella pushed up we'll as did also the Car
RE Robinson. The boats passed the

COURSE-Same as in No. 3.
Puakauahi, Kaahanui; J. f. Morgan E.
Ryan; Juniata, U. S. S. Juniata.
The crews of the war-ships in port
especially that of the Juniata, doubts
being expressed of the ability of any
crew to beat the team of Fifteenth
Amendments" that composed the crew
that represented Uncle Sam in this
event. The start gave the Juniata crew
a lead, which they increased very mate
rally at the lighthouse, the Puakauahi
trailing behind second and the name
sake of our local auctioneer was going
going, going, to the rear, in manner
that reminded the spectator more of
poor soldier than a sailor. The race
after the start was entirely between the
Juniata and the Puakauhi, crews, the
latter before reaching the spar buoy
being at least half dozen lengths in
the rear. After the turn at the spar
the natives commenced to crawl up on
their colored competitors, and when the
Juniata crew passed the lighthouse for
home their antagonists were but one
length behind. The closeness of the
finish may be judged when the result
shows that the Juniata arrived first in
81 :271a, the Puakauahi q :2616-just
one second later.
